grover cleveland

When I think about Grover Clevelnad I think of one word:


non-consecutive


Grover Cleveland was the 22nd President of the United States.

Grover Cleveland was the 24th President of the United States

Grover Cleveland was one man.

But Grover Cleveland counts as two Presidents.

According to Dorling Kindersley's book PRESIDENTS -
Grover Cleveland:

~had a lot of determination and was a hard worker

~sent Federal Troops to Cleveland in 1894 to break up a strike
by railraod workers and they arrested the strike workers and
the workers were subsequently forced to accept lower wages

~married the daughter of his former law partner in the White house

~earned tbe nickname 'Old Veto' by vetoing more legislation than
any other President before him

~'s second term was plauged by the Panic of 1893

~was born on March 18, 1837 and died on June 24, 1908.

~was a native of New Jersey
